Hoboken can be more urban than Seattle but I like Seattle far more.
So I voted for Seattle regardless, urbanity doesn't really matter to me.
Congrats. people often pass up all the good things about a city for stupidness like urbanity. One of my first posts in that Steattle vs Houston threads I mentioned its not how packed the city was that made me like it. In fact take away 90 percent of the people there and I would still like it
people too often judge awesome cities by nonsense on here, but could care less out in reality.
It's hard to have this comparison without Jersey City, since Hoboken/Union City/Guttenberg don't have the downtown financial/office area that Seattle does. If you include Jersey City, then Hudson County takes this one.

Would say it should be Hudson County and parts of Bergen County such as going north from Hudson County for Fairview, Cliffside Park, Edgewater, Ridgefield, Palisades Park, Fort Lee, and Leonia. This is essentially the dense development on the peninsula of land that is between the Hudson River and Hackensack River/Newark Bay. Maybe leave out the portion of Hudson County west of the Hackensack/Newark Bay. What's on this peninsula is pretty amazing.
There should be a geographic name for that area, but I don't know what that is or if there is one.

Urbanity relates to function, economics, tourism, sustainability, and a bunch of other sectors with real-life importance.
Even if you're only counting personal preference, guess where the high-paying tech and finance jobs are going.
Also, in response to this area being a suburb:
"With a combined population of approximately 683,470 (2015 estimate) the Hudson Waterfront, if incorporated into a single city, would be the nineteenth most populous in the country with one of the smallest land areas of 35.7 square miles (92 km2). Its communities have some of the highest residential densities in the United States. Of municipalities in the United States over 50,000 people, Union City is the most densely populated.[1] Guttenberg, although one of the smallest municipalities, stretching from 68th Street to 71st Street at 128 acres (0.52 km2), is the most densely populated "town" in the country."
That 2015 estimate is way behind now, as Jersey City is growing very rapidly. So, with a population of 683,470 (which is underestimating), the Gold Coast/Hudson Waterfront would have a population density of 19,144.82/sq mi. Please, tell me again how that is "suburban." And please tell me again how Seattle is so much more urban. Seattle's density is 8,398/sq mi.
